A CANDID CANDIDATE.
From the . 1'. World.
Mr. Greeley has sever shown any special
coyness upon the subjeot of the next Presi
dency. Ca-sar made a proper pretense of
refusiDg thrice the crown which was offered
him upon the Lnpercal. Bat Mr. Greeley,
wiser in his generation, knows fall well that
if be were to refuse it once it would never be
proffered him again, and aooodingly makes
frantio clntches at its distant gleam. The
first formal campaign document he has pro
mulgated is ia these terms-.
Nxw York Tribuhe, New York, May 81, 18T1.
Dear Sir: I know of nothing in my habits that
deserves public attention. I was formerly called a
oraharulte; ' that is, 1 rarely ate meat: and It Is
etui my conviction that meat should be eaten very
sparingly. I eat, however, like other folks, not
having time to make myself disagreeable to every
lody by Insisting on special food wherever I go,
since I travel much and eat in many places in the
course of a year.
1 ceased to drink distilled liquors January 1, 1324,
when I was not quite thirteen years old. I occa
sionally drank beer four or five years thereafter,
when I abandoned that also. I cannot remember
that I ever more than tasted wine.
1 stopped drinking ceiiee about 1884, because It
made my hand tremble. I am opposed to nerves.
1 did not drink tea for a quarter of a century, end
ing in 1861, when I had brain fever and was very 111.
Sly doctor insisted that 1 should drink either elaret
or tea, and I chose the tea, which (black.) I have
generally used since, though not uniformly.
KMy favorite exercise Is trimming up trees In a
forest with an axe, cntting out underbrush, etc.,
etc. I wish I could take more of it, but my farm is
distant and my family scattered. I sometimes Hit
weights at the Lifting Cure. I have only lifted 805
pounds since I became sixty years old, February ad
last. Yours, IIoracx Oksklkv.
J. A. Beechcr, EBq., Trenton, N. J.
It is not necessary to deny the "objective
existence" of "J. A. Beeoher" to see the
transparency of the address. There may be
Buch a Beecher, and he may really hare made
the inquiry which is thus answered, either
collusively or with an actual and imbecile de
sire to know the personal habits of Mr. Gree
ley. Bat it is clear that the sage of Chappa
qna has wisely selected his habits with the
view of conciliating all classes of his country
men. He drinks neither distilled nor malt
liquors, which insures him the rapturous sup
port of the total-abstinence people: but he did
drink both, which ought to conciliate for him
the kindly consideration even of the liquor
dealers' association. That he was a reformed
inebriate at thirteen we may attribute to the
direful effects of the rum of his native region,
which partly accounts for the vindictive hatred
he has ever since borne that beverage, and the
persistency with which he inoludes all spiritaouB
drinks under its odious title. Bat he con
tinued to apply to his bruised spirit the balm
of "beer" with a prophetio prevision in 1830
of the importance of the German vote in
1872. To the rural voter the most deeply
interesting portion of Mr. Greeley's confes
sion will be that his "favorite exeroise" is
what ' to the professional agriculturist is the
dismal drudgery of "trimming trees" and
"cutting out underbrush." A philosopher of
sixty who bows the woods beneath his stardy
stroke and pretends to like it will be an ob
ject of wonder and worship to the fly-gobbling
clodhopper of twenty-five. The imminence
of woman suffrage fully aooounts for Mr.
gratulated upon "not having time to make
himself disagreeable to everybody, and nav
ing some habit to please everybody. If any
stubborn skeptic declines to be allured by
this artless and autobiographic statement of
the winsome ways of II. G., it is the fault of
hia own hard heart.
AMERICAN GIRLS.
From the X. Y. Tribune.
Our San Francisco correspondent some
time ago invited working women to emigrate
there, promising them first, wages, and se
condly, husbands. Some Buffalo girl sends
to an intelligence office in San Franoisoo and
accepts the challenge for herself and as many
of her companions as they will Bend tickets
for. "We'll work and pay for our fare when
we get there," she says. "We are no stran
gers to the kitchen. We are neither Irish,
Dutch, nor Chinee; we are good Ani6rioan
girls, who know sauerkraut from ham. What
we want is the money, and not the men."
"This writer," says the California paper,
"evidently means business." It ii more
evident that she means business than 'work.
If she er her class of "good American
girls", j really wanted work and wages
there is no need to beg a passage to
California; they could find them both in
the numberless wealthy families in every East
ern 'city, and still more in the West, where
the kitchens so long given up to Irish and
Dutch await in dirt and disorder the avatar of

WHAT IS TIIE USE OF THE DEM0C1U.
TIO PARTY?
From, Theodore Tilton't Golden Age. .
There used to be a ground for supporting
the Democratic party; there is such no longer.
This party, until the Ohio Convention, had
leading principles of its own, distinct from
the central features of the Republican plat
forms. But the Democratic leaders, with the
late Mr. Vallandigham at their head, have
solemnly overthrown the tenets which they
stoutly maintained throughout the war. Ac
cording to these new-departing statesmen, the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments con
tinued to be unconstitutional long after they
had become parts of the very Constitution
which they were alleged to violate. But
although no change has taken plaoe in these
amendments, for they remain just as they
came originally from the hands of the people,
yet the Democratic party has put itself
into harmony with a policy which it
lately opposed. It now acknowledges,
against its own former witnesses to the con
trary, that these amendments are valid and
regular, and that they are to be as muoh
obeyed as other parts of the Constitution.
Although these amendments have formed the
text of several years' uninterrupted abuse of
the Republican party by its Democratic crit
ics, yet these critics now ask to withdraw
their criticisms and to leave the once-berated
amendments to a prospective and unmolested
dignity as parts of the supreme law. The
Ohio and other Democratic Conventions
practically say this. Now of course we con
gratulate our Democratic friends that they
are opening their eyes to discern the signs of
the times.
But, amid all the joy and rejoicing which
we experience over "the new departure,"
there has departed also the chief distinguish
ing contention between Democrats and Re
publicans, namely,' the negro question. As a
consequence the ground which many citizens
had, or thought they had, for voting against
the Republican party, ceases to be valid. The
Democrats, having voluntarily abandoned
their chief and vital objections to the Repub
lican platform, ought logically to join the
Republican party.
Our nomination of Mr. Greeley to the pre
sidency was designed as an invitation to them
so to do. We want to make it easy for the
Democracy to coalesce with their former op
ponents, and for this reason we offer to them
a man who, though a thorough Republican in
principle, having been almost the author of
the Republican party, is nevertheless by
aotual demonstration the bst-lovd Northern
man fcv the South, and the most kindlv-
spinted statesman now in publio life.. Mr.
Vallandigham lived long enough to teach the
Democratic party that it must take the Re
publican view of the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments, and Mr. Ureeiey, if made a can
didate, would lure thousands of Democratic
voters to testify their sympathy with such a
Republican at the polls. It is our profound
belief that Mr. Greeley s nomination to the
presidency would do more to persuade thou
sands of freedom-loving Democrats to be
come Republicans than any other act which
the Republican party could perform.
If there was once a good reason why Demo
crats should remain in the Democratic party,
the Ohio Democratic resolutions are an equally
good reason for abandoning it. Let the two
parties continue their opposition to President
Grant, and make common cause under Mr.
Greeley as the most useful and best beloved
American citizen. Four years ago, the Demo
cratic party wanted Mr. Chase, and, if it had
nominated him, could have ridden to victory
under his leadership. Mr. Greeley is far
stronger with the whole nation 'now than Mr.
Chase was with the northern nail or it then.
Who will deny this faot? But to admit the
fact is to admit also its logical inferenoe;
which is that, judging from the present poli
tical situation, the best candidate ior the next
Presidency is Mr. Greeley.
FRANCE AND THE PROBLEM OF TAXA
TION.
From the N. Y. Times.
In the dvnastio questions which are, at
present, agitating f ranco, our country nas
no immediate interest beyond a sympathetic
and speculative one. With her transactions
in the money markets of Europe we have a
concern which is unmistakably direct and
appreciable. France has oeased to be the
Keystone State or European pontics, Dut in
virtue of her prodigious pecuniary require
ments, she has attained the unenviable dis
tinction of being able to all ect tne rates ae
mended by money-lenders all over the world.
The "solidarity of nations" in a . social and
political sense may sometimes be rather dim
cult to reoognize. Their community of in
terests in a monetary sense is a highly unmis
takable fact. The ability of France to bear
taxation will materially all ect the
amount-- of ' deficit for which she
will be compelled to trade upon her national
credit. This, in its turn, will have a direct
influence upon the amount of European oapi
tal available for the multitude of publio and
private enterprises among ourselves which
invutB us support, oome luur uuuuius ago,
a leading European financial organ stated,
after a careful resume of the sources of na
tional revenue in France and the probable
saving that could be made in her expenditure,
that the utmost amount which the country
could spare to be applied to paying the in
terest of new debt, would be about $30,000,-
000. As a first demand. M. Ponyer-Uuertier
asks for $ 'J2,000,0()0 of new taxation. Of
course this amount is intended to provide for
other pressing necessities, besides the interest
on the loan of five hundred million dollars
lately issued. The German army of oooupa
tion must be paid for, and the existing defi
ciency of one hundred millions in the returns
of last year s taxes must, if possible, be par
tially met. The temporary shrinkage in the
tax-yielding power of the country may, with
some difficulty, be balanced by the reduction
on the expenditures devoted to sundry mili
tary and naval depart men's. The amount of
new taxation which the French people must
shoitly make up their minds to bear may be
coDjtctured from the fact that the additional
dt Lt resulting from the war. the indemnity
and contingent expenditure will of itself
create an annual interest charge of about
$105,000,000.
Yet, in spite of the fact that with crippled
resources and reduced area and population,
France must raise one-fourth more by taxa
tion than she did in the palmiest days of the
empire, the confidence of European lenders
seems to be unshaken in her capacity far
financial restoration. A tolerably competent
critio declare! that 1 the French people were
before the war " laying Dy prohts, after de
ducting the cost of living, at the rate of
Bbout $:00,000,000 a year." It is estimated
that the amount of the taxable inoome of
France reaohes $ l,Ctt),0O0,000. It is some
what rashly concluded that $1,000,000,000
of . this oould be reached by a five
per cent, income tax, and nearly one-
half , of the required addition - to the
taxes be thus secured. There exist already
in France taxes on doors and windows, and a
"personal and furniture tax, whioh are prao-
tically of the nature of income tax, and
which amount to at least two and a half per
cent, on the available amount of national in
come. In point of fact, M. Fonyer-Quertier
has not yet had recourse to this most unpopu
lar of all devices for raising money in France,
lie proposes to raise twelve millions of dol
lars by an increase of stamp duties, which
are virtually a tax on the land, taking effect
at its sale or transfer by succession An ad
dition of $18,000,000 to the taxes on intoxi
cating liquors, $10,000,000 on coffee and
sugar, and a contemplated $10,000,000
to be derived from import duties on
sundry articles not covered by unrepealed
commercial treaties, complete the introduc
tory financial proposals of M. Thiers' Minister
of i inance. It is too soon to speculate upoa
the elasticity which France may show under
her daily increasing burdens. As at present
viewed by European capitalists, the financial
situation is considered hopeful, and a gov
ernment once assured which starts with fair
prospects of stability, it seems clear that the
pecuniary demands of the nation, enormous
though they are, will be fully met. It is
hardly necessary to point out the bearing of
this fact upon native enterprises, which are
more or less dependent on foreign support.
The financial competition in Europe will
render it difficult for any but the most solid
schemes to have in that quarter a chance of
success.
